Rarely. I remember once, over a decade ago, when I had severe insomnia (76 hours awake in one go), I spent the best part of 26 hours painting Mutant Chronicles miniatures with breaks for only drink, food, and bladder relief. Physically draining, but I got my Centurions, Necromutants and Undead Legionnaires all done, as well as some I promised to do for a friend of mine.

But as soon as I come back from my holiday in the States, I fully intend to do a couple days' worth of solid customising!

I'm a graduate student, and as such am unemployed during the school year. Unfortunately, the summer job hunt has not gone very well for me since April, which means no money but tonnes of free time (when I'm not pounding the pavement). As a result, I pretty much work on customs and commissioned pieces in six hour chunks, with brief breaks to eat, make coffee, and converse with the people I live with. I'd say that I have an all customs day about once a week...I do not recommend it, if only to preserve your sanity and health.

As a luxury, customizing time should be treasured. As the norm, its bad news

Seriously, I wish I even knew this hobby existed before I had kids. I would have had so much free time. Of course I would have been limited with non-articulated fodder and no real internet to share with but what the hell, I would have had free time.

In the meantime, I try to squeeze in a few hours every weekend and if possible one night a week.

Very cool topic, Nirvana -- I've been reading it with great interest, so now I'll chime in.

Once in a while I give myself a day like this, though not during the school year. Like Glorbes, I'm a graduate student, and during the school year things get way too hectic for me to do much customizing or even posting. But during the summer or winter breaks, sure, I'll give myself at least 1 or 2.

Of course, not all of my "customizing days" have been as productive as Nirvana's was. Yesterday was sort of devoted to customizing, but all I got done was taking apart a 12" Slave Leia doll (took a surprisingly long time) and repainted her bikini. The rest of the time I pretty much vegged! But one needs times like that every now and again...

I wish! I have been home all day today, finally getting our livingroom ceiling repaired.I started the day tilling soil and seeding the bare pathces in our back yard, had a fridge for the garage delivered, my son had a half day, so he came home early and i put some figures in the cabinet that had been pileing up since the last 3 waves.Meanwihile my kitchen, livingroom and access to the basement has been closed off. So i was only able to get my vintage han carded today...I had grander designs on making two figures (jlu though)But ended up not getting much done, by way of customs.

Well, I'm out of school now and that's why I've been having alot of time to customize...until the end of July, I really don't have anything going on during the day, but I'm starting to run out of fodder (as well as cash, lol), so I hope I get my job soon for the summer so I can actually make some money.

I get tired of my custom desk, so I frequently get up to stretch the legs and get fresh air, then back to the table.

I'm having a little bit of a customizer's block now that I've finished up the two Rebel guerillas. I've considered making a PN of them taking down an Imperial Convoy, but that means I will have to make the vehicles and everything. I don't know, maybe.

Man, I thought I was part of a minority on here that has no time because of kids, baseball, family time, bedtime, etc. etc.. I'm rather embarrassed that I've not really got hardly any customs to share and I post on here. I promise, I DO customize though!

I'm currently SLOWLY making molds and casts of a microman figure for me to use as a base figure I can cast and use over and over. It doesnt have all of the articulation the original has (a lot of it though), but I did make a ball joint for those types of heads on the microman's body. Plus, I've gotten rid of any screwholes and lines from articulation I didnt use by smoothing it over with sculpy, then re-casting it.
